@SecondUniverse@autistics.life i get it. (I think)
Are there pure cosmetic surgery done at a young age or is there also a thin line between necessary medical treatments and pure cosmetics?
Or in case of a doubt, wait to get a consent?

@chisop@todon.eu @SecondUniverse@autistics.life modifying a baby's genitals because they "look weird" is purely cosmetic and can cause serious issues later because they're not fully developed and they have to grow with that scar tissue. There are a few serious issues that do need correction like lacking an opening to the urethra, but otherwise it's better to wait and let the child decide what they want to do when they're old enough to understand.
